Beer spurting out of her mouth (and no dentures as implied by joke), she
says something like "Come here and gimme a kiss."
The last bit: she takes a sip from her beer and says "Thank you" while
letting the beer drip all over the table. It's pretty crass for a
sitcomish film. Tone is all wrong, they put Robin WIlliams, a bunch of
overachieving punks and the talented Gus Van Sant together, not good.

Did you folks lose your art theatre or are you complaining
that it's only one screen? It's amazing that UIUC does not
have something along the lines of Univ of Chicago's DOC Films.

I've been very disappointed by the films that have passed through town
this year.

P.S. What year?
So do something about it! When I was a student not only
were there regular Illini Union Board Friday/Saturday
screenings at the Auditorium but films were being run
by various other organizations in Lincoln Hall Theater,
the theatre in Gregory Hall, Comm West, and several
smaller rooms in Greg as well. Plus a private
entrepeneur ran films simultaneously in (rented) venues
at the YMCA and two other non-U-owned near-campus
locations. Video & cable killed it all. And yet Doc
Films (UofC) apparently continues to prosper with films
every night of the week (during classes), runs mostly
35mm, has a benefactor with deep pockets providing them
with the latest in Dolby processors and digital sound,
and often runs free "word of mouth" PR screenings of new
movies prior to general release.

BTW, I would love to see them do more "event" type
screenings at the Virginia.
Yes. I love it in Boston because I have good access to movies. Its not New
York but more manageable. Here are my favorite theaters, in and around
Boston, Cambridge, and Newton:
The Coolidge in Brookline.

The Kendall Square Cinema.

The Sony at Harvard Square.

The West Newton Cinema.

EMA.html
The Brattle in Harvard Square.
http://www.bostonphoenix.com/listings/movies/theaters/BRATTLE.html
The above is my core of theaters. The Brattle is great because they repeat
films with themes. For example: Wednesdays being Noir films or Thursday for
Hong Kong films, etc. I like Kendall Square the best because it has all
modern facilities. In addition, there is the Fine Arts museum and Harvard
has a fabulous theater and film archive, donated by a wealthy gentleman and
they show some rare movies, plus you can take a film class and do your own
reviews. When they show silent movies, you can expect a live pianist to
provide the background music. However, I think you can find a greater depth
of film offerings in California, New York, and a few other locations, but
Boston is not bad for a small city.

Actually, I believe she says- "How about a kiss?" as the "beer" drips
out of her mouth. Thank you is not much of a punchline.

Ooh, sorry all over..
Well, actually that scene was very humanized, when looked in
retrospect. If you've ever hung out with blue-collar guys in a bar
(only one of which was an overachiever, but had no grasp of his
potential, thus making him an underachiever in social attributes...you
think he would've read up on that. heheh) And a girl who had no idea at
the time this guy was an overachiever, just witty, and wanted to fit in
with the friends... the scene makes sense and fits in. Happens around
the world all the time, even to socialite losers.
